摘要
We developed a photon counting TV camera system, which uses an image guide consisting of tapered optical fibers, for the rapid detection and counting of microscopic sized luminous particles in a wide field. Using a luminous bacterium as a standard, we compared this image guide-coupled TV camera to a lens-coupled TV camera by determining their light collecting powers and detection abilities for single bacteria on a membrane filter. The image guide shortened the detection time by an order of magnitude, making the photon counting TV camera a practical system for rapid counting of bacteria.
